It's funny how every time a section of the populace is allowed to speak even somewhat freely, it immediately begins to question core tenets of "Democracy"
This outcome is then declared undemocratic, and can only be solved by bringing it back under the control of a central regime

When people, the demos, begin to decide they don't like what Democracy is doing, "We"—who, exactly?—
Must step in, in the name of Democracy, a government "of" the people, to correct the desires of those same people, that conflict with the desires of "Us"

When people are left to themselves, they somehow just always revert to believing disinformation that is at total odds with Our democratic truths and values. When they reject Our Values, this is a red-hot sign that Our Democracy is in decline.
When the people stray from the Values of Our Democracy, it is Our solemn duty to the people straying from Democracy to remold the people's informational environment so that they are only capable of expressing Our Values, for their own good
This is the definition of Our Democracy

How do We secure "their greatest gift," that they, when they start to discuss what they actually want, are always trying to squander?
Through Democracy's exertion of corporate + government power, the most Democracy means of all, to restrict people's ability to say what they want

The internet was unowned space, as BAP puts it, + as soon as it opened its widest frontier, the people used it to decide on a political outcome that the We's and Our's loathed
The We's and Our's immediately mounted a massive pressure campaign to reclaim that space for themselves

It worked. From 2016-20, media onslaught + internal capture forced every social media platform to tighten its speech to conform to the desired outcomes of the We's and Our's.
Until it is now safe for Barack Obama to call for it being tightened even further. "For the people"

Thus why when someone who doesn't appear to be on the side of the We's and Our's threatens to buy out a piece of their newly-captured territory... hysteria, meltdown, rewrite the rules again
For Our Democracy

"By and of the people" is now in permanent warfare with "for the people." The people have become a completely different people from those who decide "for the people."
In warfare, freedoms vanish in a snap. They won't let up. Until we win, we must understand that it is war.
